Tenjin Matsuri (festival of the Tenmangu Shrine) honors its principal deity, Sugawara Michizane, the deity of scholarship. The festival begins by ceremonially inviting the deity out of the shrine and parading him through the city, carrying out various exuberant festivities to entertain him, before taking him back to the shrine.
